Fuel Filter
that thing was a pain in the *** to change... i couldn't figure out how to get the support sleeve unhooked so i just tried sliding the filter out the backside of it... i think i kinked the fuel line in the process DOH!
I've kinked that plasticky fuel line twice now. It can't be good for the fuel pressure, but I can't figure out where it attaches up at the tank so I can replace it.
The problem is getting impatient removing the filter, with all the fuel pouring out after undoing the front connector. The right kind of pliers should let you remove the bracket instead of pulling the filter out the back of the bracket, which invariably kinks the fuel line.
